Viola rafinesquei (syn. Viola bicolor), commonly known as the American field pansy or wild pansy, is an annual plant in the violet family found throughout much of North America. [2] There has been some debate as to whether the plant is native there or if it was introduced from the Old World as a variety of Viola kitaibeliana, but it is now generally thought to be native to the North America. [3] It is common in disturbed habitats but is also found in fields and open woods on substrates ranging from sandy soil to clay to limestone. [4] [5] [6]
